This article isn't just about players who are the least valuable to their team, but it's also a general education piece on the NBA.

Be honest, how many of these players did you even know were still in the league? I know for a fact that the Brad Miller and Mike Bibby slides threw you for a loop, but I might have just blown your mind by telling you that Jamaal Tinsley was still in the NBA.

This is the same Jamaal Tinsley from the Indiana Pacers. There aren't many other people in the world that would have the name Jamaal spelled with two a's. This is the same player that has shot below 40 percent in six of their nine years in the league and the same player who once tricked the Pacers into giving him $6 million per-year.

Tinsley actually spent the entire 2010-'11 season without a job. He had also missed the entire 2008-'09 season. He spent the 2009-'10 season with the Memphis Grizzlies and failed to find another team to play with after becoming a free agent. It wasn't until two weeks before the start of the regular season that the Jazz decided to sign him.

In response, Tinsley has played in 32 games and is shooting just as horribly as he did with Indiana and Memphis. He's averaging four points and three assists per, while converting a little less than 40 percent from the field and 27 percent from deep.

As bad as the Utah Jazz' backcourt has been this year and Tinsley still can't get significant minutes? It's been a long career.

agree?

or should it be .... ?
 
I hope you guys realize Bleacher Report is just a bunch of guys. There is no more reason to follow their opinions than any poster on JazzFanz including me.
 
Tinsley generally makes the shots that he should. And that is mid range jumpers when the defense sags off of him.

That's really all I ask from a back-up PG when it comes to shooting.
 
Bleacher Report.

I would probably give the LVP to Howard. I just can't remember any games he played a huge role in winning. Bell even had that Warriors game were he shutdown Ellis. Watson had his moments early in the season. Tinsley impact doesn't show up in a stat sheet as he directs traffic.
 
i love when players are the victims of high expectations.

to say that howard, miles, tinsley, watson, etc. have contributed less to the jazz this season than somebody like jeremy evans or blake ahearn is just silly. if you evaluate the roster based on absolute contributions and relative to what we think they should have done, it's pretty obvious who has contributed the least.
